Hi all sifu.

I would like to make a rig to support my workload.

The software that I had been using most of the time are Vray 3D Max , Autocad , Photoshop.

Would like to render the 3D efficiently rather than time consuming.

However I'm not sure the software is processor or graphic card intensive.

Hope all sifu could give me a hand on it.

And lastly.
My budget is 5000

Thanks for the quick reply.

Do you have any idea all these software is mainly processor or graphic card hunger ?

Try to look for forum to know more but so far couldn't.

by any chance should i get more than 16gb like 32gb ram so i could multi task on the rig ?

by any chance should i pump more money into the processor with higher clock speed and reduce my fund on the graphic card?
or i should distribute the fund well between both?

since another sifu mention that graphic design is always on processor > ram > gpu

Hey guys I got a new job so I will be travelling a lot more for work. Need your help to suggest a good build for my purpose. [Budget]
Doesn't matter as long as fits my purpose.

[Purpose]
Gaming while outstation and also something I can just plug in when I go home. I currently have an outdated 900D build with all the bells and whistles but it weighs 30kg.

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
None. Maybe a couple of SSD. Peripherals and monitors are all there though.

[Monitor resolution]
Planning to use a projector when travelling or hdmi to the hotel TV. My home monitor is the XR341CK but I have no problem selling it off and buying the Gsync version

[Games & softwares that use frequently]
Most often Battlefield, Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege. I do play a lot of other games like Hitman and even emulators.

[Personal preferences]
I would really like a portable system that I can just carry and transport easily in my car and when I get home just plug into my USB hub and monitor.  But at the same time I don't want to compromise on power. Please help me dear sifus =D

Thanks bro. If I wait  abit any chance I can get a 1080Ti in there?

Thanks bro. Yeah it  seems to be unrealistic ..

Compare 1060 and RX 480 ? Which one would you recommend ?

And Micro ATX and Mini ITX ? May I know what's the diff ? I am travelling around and do hope to have a smaller chassis .. That's why i wanted liquid cooling to cool down the hardware ..

Did not realise that Mini ITX is even smaller. Would actually like to have mini ITX now lol.

Cheapest GTX 1060 6GB costs less than RX 480 8GB, and just a little more than the RX 480 4GB.

[B][Budget]
4-5k, 5-6k but i m not sure of budget coz only few games i play as below. I will not play first person shooter?
[Purpose]
Main: Gaming. 2nd is office related work. So i need MS Office & Windows.
[Hardwares that will be re-use]
nil.
[Monitor resolution]
Wide screen 22inch maybe, I do not know. Those large size monitor used by CC?
[Games & softwares that use frequently]
XCOM2, HON, DOTA2
[Personal preferences]
In my mind now, maybe go for Asus gaming desktop?? it has to be full SSD. can recommend me other than ASUS?

Can also recommemnd best for bucks computer?

Please help.

Noticed that you like to recommend Ryzen 7 1700. Not sure how it is compared to i7 7700k ?

In terms of stability ? I am sure Ryzen 7 1700 is faster than 7700k right ?

Whats the pro and cons for each processor ?

Guys need some recommendation. Around 3k is it possible to build a decent rig for streaming?

Sorry I left out I want to live stream on YouTube and Twitch.

Hi all,

Been out of the customizing game for far too long with work and whatnot so need some help here on upgrading my 8 year old rig. I'm looking to upgrade my rig for work.

[Budget] 2000-3000, perhaps even top up from selling my current rig (maybe about 1.5k more?)

[Purpose]  I'm a creative director for an agency, so will need use Adobe's CC quite abit. Ill also need to run some serious Excel spreadsheets

[Games & software that use frequently] Adobe CC, LOTS of MS Office

[Personal preferences] Looking to get out of the world of AMD and dive into the i7 Kaby Lake and need suggestions on what i should change and what i can keep as i find my rig is not performing up to par and my SP4 is faster.

[Location] Setia Alam

My current build (about 8 years old now except for the mobo which i just changed last year) :
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955BE
Heatsink: Thermalright TRUE Black
Mobo: ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
GC: Sapphire ATi hd4870
PSU: VANTEC 620C
Casing: Cooler Master HAF 932
RAM: Dont know what brand DDR3 1333 2GB X 2 and recently bought 1x ADATA Premier DDR3L 1600 8GB

No need for a monitor as i already have 2 and am happy with them.

Thanks in advance!

hi plz help need some advice/suggestion, im currently using :

4790 [non k]
16gb ddr3
980 ti
small ssd [128gb] for windows
1tb black hdd
1x 4k@60 monitor + 1x 1080@60

is it worth it to buy a whole new pc (thinking of cpu like 7700k/ryzen1700, gpu 1080ti, 16gb ddr4, no reuse parts) or just upgrade parts (gpu & add another big ssd for games)? i scare buy new pc the improvement is minimal & is a waste of $

[Budget] = 5k (rig only )

[Monitor resolution] = 1440p

[Games & softwares that use frequently] = gta 5 , dota 2 , csgo , fifa

hi i need only a graphics card recommendation
1. STATE your budget : cheapest
2. STATE the parts that you wish to re-use: n/a
3. STATE your purpose : browser, ms office, movie (movie not often). i use 2 monitors - one with hdmi and the other dvi
4. STATE your intended purchase date : asap
5. STATE your preference : no brand preference. just need a card that doesnt need external power, and doesnt overheat. i dont do any gaming. thanks in advance

thanks.
op1 i dont know enough about graphics card etc to know if im getting an ok unit. rather buy new.
op2 sounds like my best bet coz i dont want to spend over rm200. can u give me a model name so i can get one from digi mall now.

hi thanks very much for suggestion, after asking a few people i think i will just upgrade parts [gpu & ssd] as cpu [4790 to 7700 & ddr4] wont impact much at 4k

but if u dont mind can give me a build budget around 8~9k [rig only], just want to know what i can get for that price. i live at klang and thrs literally no good pc shop here, and i will have to go kl to quote price and such 
will use the format u guys suggest, thanks very much 

[Budget] 8~9k [rig only]

[Purpose] mostly gaming, sometimes capture and edit for fun, sometimes drawing

[Hardwares that will be re-use] monitor, mouse, keyboard, speaker, controller

[Monitor resolution] currently using 2 monitors - 4k@60hz and 1080@60hz

[Games & softwares that use frequently] 1.mostly mmos like ff14 wow tera black desert etc 2.overwatch diablo3 csgo hots hearthstone 3.some steam indie games and random titles 4.rarely play gtav and some other aaa titles
software - obs / nvidia shadowplay / amd playstv for capture, photoshop, clipstudio paint, sai tool paint

[Personal preferences] - amd intel nvidia is fine for me, but it would be great if u can give me 2 build [1 intel/1 amd] for comparison
- would hope if can put 5k+ in just cpu and gpu, the rest will go to other parts
- dont care bout the looks at all [but if got some extra $ dont mind put in some rgb and such] < would like to have very good cooling case
- dont prefer any water cooling inside the case [unless neccessary] < prefer beastly big air cooler [dont care bout light and such]
- never done oc before, so probably wont do it and can be ignore

[Location]

nice thanks, gonna go see some reviews for each parts

btw it seems that amd is quite new and got some issues [optimization] including the cooler mounting u mention, which is main problem for me since i want more flexibility in cpu cooler. and i dont like to fix/update/optimize later since im not very good at the hardware bios thing

do u work at c-zone? i can come by and support support when im upgrading/buy new    just to ty for helping

Please suggest a mid-range gaming setup for me. No GPU required (I'm going to reuse my GTX 970 for at least another year) and no power supply needed either (I have an extra Seasonic 620 unit).

I need at least 16 gigs of RAM and I want an SSD. Looking to spend around RM3k to RM4k without monitor or the above two parts.
